> I don’t like feeling like a piece of furniture to add to the company’s diversity. This is a great point. Companies are still sexist when there's a 2:1 chance a female will be hired over males with equivalent skills. I'm happy

I didn't believe you at first but you're right. It's so easy to leak information these days :S

> OK. Maybe not 80%. Maybe 50%. It’s hard to say. Saying it's 80% in the headline then immediately saying it might be 50% is clickbaity.

I think it's great. People collect much stranger things than public APIs :)

I like this. I spent 15 minutes playing the game and I feel like I can pick up the basics. I'll try the bookmarklet from time to time.

I'd love to see this backed up with actual cost comparison breakdown on google vs Amazon. Also, I'm not sure the article 100% clarifies what it means by serverless. Does it mean "functions as a service", or something els

In my experience no. Testing was not even considered. I worked on mobile games 5 years ago so things may have changed. Most of the time we had strict timelines with feature milestones. We were building mobile apps of licenced titles. The la

Nice turnaround! I'm building an API myself to get public feedback. Are you exposing this to get an idea for demand? How are you tracking this?

On and off for 10 years. Most of that was really bad form. A few years ago I got a trainer and decided that I was going to be serious about lifting. At my best I'm going 5 days a week in the morning when the gym isn't busy. My spl

Yeah I agree. Unless you can fundamentally change the value people get from this it's not worth it. I've seen some medical based apps that have gotten funding but it's just a decision tree that tells you what you might have.

I'm curious as to why you chose an array of components as a response instead of an object of component keys?

Not really. The one way I can see it working is when we get AGI. No one would want to interact with a chatbot unless it was something they feel like they could trust. To trust a chat bot it would need to provide real, consistent value over

There are websites out there dedicated to flipping web sites. Most sites are people's side projects that bring in a bit of revenue. They've lost interest or have different priorities. They sell it to others for anywhere from $2000

To be blunt, if this is a problem you're using git incorrectly. Why would you commit code for fixA on featureB? If you're having issues with commits like this you have a people problem, not a fit problem.

Very simple and to the point. Quick question, how did you generate the magnet hash?

Makes sense. Having 90% of a pseudo legal market share would probably force law makers to make it properly illegal.

I'm curious what is contained in this bill. Is there an online link somewhere? It would be cool to see Schneier break it down.

I agree with you. There is definitely some other factors that affect the ranking of stories. Anyone know what these rules could be?

I find my self control issues all stem from not having a solid plan to do something. I know that I could be doing things "better" but I don't have a strong enough emotional reason to. I've found if you want to change som

This is cool. Not because it's useful or performant etc. but because it shows how simple java bytecode is. After seeing this I wanted to know: - how many opcodes exist in the JVM - how easy would it be to create another language that c

I think this is a great exploration but I'm still sceptical of current blockchain tech. Joining the pool of miners feels wrong. Realistically there's no incentive for an every day user to join the pool. We need to create systems t

From the sounds of other posts you're making similar money to what you would at the big 4 (5?). I think another question to ask is what other reasons would you want to work at these companies? The possibility to learn from other smart

Understand the tools and languages you use day to day inside and out. If you know how these things work internally you'll be 3x better than most programmers. Fail as much as possible in an environment that is okay with failure. My envi
